Sci-fi not worth watching in full or ever again!

Rating: 2/10 (10 February 2014)

This film had so much potential. Amazing movie posters, incredible nail biting trailers and a promising cast. So where did it all go wrong? A main storyline filled with plot holes, awkward screenplay filled with racial stereotypes and poorly directed scenes.
The acting had a non-intentional comical feel which greatly conflicted with the storyline and was very distracting. However not directly to the fault of the actors themselves, the uncomfortable cliché 'one-liners' and senseless scenes where everyone just screams and dies is resulted from poorly written scripts and directing. Also, the unsellable foreign aspects of the film is riddled with racial stereotypes and slanders. Such derogatory scenes even included a "Russian" woman wearing an eye-patch and grunting like a masculine commando, purely retched material.
To sum up, although it had lots of CGI eye candy, it was painful to watch. The main story is filled with holes and is lost to the action in the film. This could have been avoided if the side-story, 'about a girl', was expanded and adapted into the main story. In addition, the actors struggle to uphold the seriousness of the film due to distasteful scripts and directing. Also, the drama scenes dragged out too long and the anticipation of the cool robot on alien scenes did not compensate.
Best if fast-forwarding straight to action scenes, a sci-fi not worth watching in full or ever again. 2 out of 10 stars.
